The town square hummed with the ordinary rhythms of human life, blissfully ignorant of the supernatural currents swirling through its heart. Lexi Branson moved through the crowd with the silent, fluid grace of a predator. Sunlight glinted in her long golden hair.

She had come for Stefan, and for the ghost of her own past mistakes. Closing the final steps between you, she stopped, her expression a blend of gentle warmth and unshakable determination.
